Definitions

  • the invention relates to a storage box, in particular Lagersichtbox, with a bottom wall, a front wall and a rear wall, and with two opposing side walls, each having a stacking edge at its upper edge, each side wall at least one of the bottom wall upwardly extending and Having the stack edge interrupting bulge.
  • Storage boxes are stackable plastic trays in which small parts, such as screws, etc. can be stored.
  • Such storage boxes which are used both by do-it-yourselfers and in the professional field of craftsmen for the storage of small parts, are usually offered as so-called storage light boxes, in which the front wall has a viewing or removal opening. Below the sight opening usually a handle is attached.
  • the upper edge of the storage box is designed as a stacking edge on which rests the edge region of the bottom of the mounted storage box.
  • bulges are provided in the side walls, which extend vertically from the bottom to the edge of the storage box. These bulges interrupt the stack edge and often correspond to each other in terms of their dimensions, that the inner surfaces of the recesses of a lower storage box serve as a guide for the outer surfaces of the corresponding recess of a second storage box inserted into the lower position box.
  • the bulges also fulfill the task of a stiffening profile for the storage boxes, which must be both stable and lightweight.
  • a generic storage box is off DE 44 02 219 A1 known.
  • the bulges are formed wedge-shaped tapering down. Since the bulges at the top interrupt the stacking edge, it is necessary to stack a plurality of storage boxes, offset the storage boxes in the direction of the stack edge against each other so that the bottom portion of a bulge of the upper storage box rests on the stack edge of the lower storage box and not in the corresponding bulge is introduced as in the case of stacking storage boxes together.
  • small recesses in the stacking edge are provided in the known storage box in which the wedge points of the bulges of a stacked storage box can intervene secured against displacement.
  • the storage boxes of a stack are thus offset from each other.
  • the offset directions in a stack must alternate.
  • the recesses are provided on both sides of each bulge.
  • a disadvantage of the known storage box is the necessity of alternating the boxes when forming a stack, which makes it impossible to insert a single box into an existing stack. On the other hand, it is prevented by the necessary anti-displacement protection that a storage box can be moved drawer-like against underlying boxes of the stack for easier engagement.
  • DE 70 32 037 U also discloses storage boxes which can be stacked on each other at 180 ° relative rotations.
  • GB 2 0605 66 A discloses similar storage boxes, however, which are stackable at 90 ° relative to each other in relative rotations.
  • the stacking edge is interrupted by the bulges in the side walls in order to allow space-saving stacking of the storage boxes into each other, eg for transport purposes.
  • a continuous stacking edge is advantageous so that the individual boxes can be stacked vertically and do not need to be offset from each other.
  • the stack edge is continued or supplemented or completed in the region of the bulges, if a stacking of the storage boxes is desired one above the other.
  • the stacked by the bridge elements stack edge also allows a safe, drawer-like possibility for displacement at least the top storage box of a stack without the risk that this box slips off its support, as would be the case in the prior art, if there is not the possibility to move entirely with additional security measures would be prevented.
  • the bridge elements can be used in the sale of the storage box in sufficient numbers, preferably one per bulge, attached by the user before putting into use.
  • the bridge element has first latching means which cooperate with second latching means on the side wall.
  • the locking means may preferably consist of pins and associated openings into which the pins are pressed. As a result, the bridge elements are captively secured.
  • the stacking edge and the bridge element each have a guide groove, which are aligned with each other in the inserted state of the bridge element, and that at the lower end of the bulge adapted to the guide groove spring is formed.
  • the lower ends of the bulges form projections which, secured against lateral slippage, are supported in the guide groove.
  • Another advantage of the guide groove in conjunction with the adapted design of the spring is that a storage box is displaceable within a stack relative to the immediately underlying position box in the horizontal direction in the guide groove.
  • the guide groove is formed as a centering, that is, a relatively large, lateral tolerances inserted into the groove spring is the deeper insertion into the Nut aligned by their special shape, in particular centered in the groove.
  • a centering that is, a relatively large, lateral tolerances inserted into the groove spring is the deeper insertion into the Nut aligned by their special shape, in particular centered in the groove.
  • the guide groove and spring In order to minimize the weight and the cost of materials for a storage box as possible, one is usually namely sought to realize the thinnest possible wall thicknesses. However, this can cause the side walls to warp out when filling with heavy bulk material. In the case of an exactly straight configuration of the guide groove and spring, there may therefore be the risk that the spring does not engage correctly in the groove, so that no proper stacking of the storage boxes is ensured.
  • the guide groove as a centering groove, this preferably has a first and a second flank and a groove bottom, from which at least one flank rises flat.
  • the groove bottom can be reduced to the contact line of the two flanks, but can also be designed as a flat surface between the flanks.
  • the centering groove has a V-shaped cross-section, wherein the V-shaped centering can be configured symmetrically or asymmetrically.
  • the spring adapted to the centering groove has two side surfaces, of which at least one side surface is preferably designed to be complementary to one of the two flanks of the centering groove.
  • the spring may be configured to fill the centering groove when stacking the storage boxes, i. that the two side surfaces of the spring abut against both flanks of the centering, so that a positive connection between the centering groove and the spring is achieved.
  • Another possible embodiment of the spring provides that only one side surface of the spring bears against an edge of the centering groove and that the second side surface is arranged at a distance from the corresponding flank of the centering groove.
  • the bottom wall of the bulge itself is designed as a spring. It preferably has at its lower end a first and a second wall portion, which favorably form a V-shaped cross section, which may be symmetrical or asymmetrical.
  • the bottom wall of the bulge on at least one flat rising wall portion.
  • the flat rising wall section comes for engagement with the flat rising edge of the centering, so that in case of a possible offset the relevant edge slides over the associated wall section until the centered end position is reached.
  • the second wall portion of the bottom wall of the bulge is preferably via a curved wall portion in the bottom wall of the storage box, so that in the bottom area also a groove-like configuration is achieved.
  • the bulges preferably have a rectangular, trapezoidal or wave-shaped horizontal cross section.
  • the lower end of the bulge does not project downwardly with respect to the bottom wall of the storage box.
  • the lower end of the protrusions is in one plane with the bottom wall. This measure prevents the storage boxes from getting caught on transport and distribution systems.
  • the bottom wall is retracted inwards.
  • the bottom wall is retracted inwardly in a pyramid shape. This embodiment has the advantage that when heavy loading the bottom wall can not bend down, which would otherwise have adverse effects on the side walls. The distortion of the side walls is thereby reduced, so that a secure engagement of tongue and groove is supported.
  • the side walls and / or the bulges are conically inclined, whereby the nesting of the storage boxes is facilitated.
  • the angle of inclination is 2 °.
  • stack seats are formed in the corner regions of the walls. When nesting each other, the storage boxes rest on the stacked seats of the underlying storage box.
  • the storage boxes are made of plastic, in particular of injection-molded plastic.
  • This material has the advantage that the storage boxes can be easily made and can be easily manufactured.
  • FIG. 1 a storage box 1 is shown in perspective.
  • the storage box 1 has two side walls 30a, b, a front wall 10 with a viewing opening 5 and a front handle 6, a rear wall 20 with a rear handle 7 and a bottom wall 2, which is retracted inwards and in the embodiment shown here four pyramidal surfaces 3a , b, c, d.
  • the upper edge 8 of the storage box 1 is in the region of the side walls 30a, b formed as a stacking edge 8a, which means that when stacking the bottom wall portion of the overlying storage box rests on this stack edge 8a.
  • the stacking edge 8a has a centering groove 40, which will be explained in more detail in connection with the following drawings.
  • the side walls 30a, b each have three bulges 32 which extend from the bottom wall 2 to the edge 8 of the storage box from bottom to top.
  • Each bulge 32 has an outer wall 33 and two narrow side walls 34a, b.
  • the walls of the bulges 32 are inclined as well as the side walls 30a, b and the front wall 10 and the rear wall 20, so that the storage box widens from bottom to top overall. This makes it possible to stack storage boxes together.
  • the side walls 30a, b have at the upper end of the bulges 32 bearing shoulders 36 with openings 37 for attachment of bridge elements 50 (s. Fig. 3 ).
  • FIG. 2a a section along the line AA is shown. This section is laid through the side walls 30a, b outside the bulges 32, so that the bulges 32 are each seen in side view.
  • FIG. 2b shows a section along the line BB through the in FIG. 1 shown storage box 1, wherein this section extends through the bulges 32.
  • each centering groove 40 has a V-shaped cross section, which is asymmetrical in the illustration shown here.
  • the V-groove is formed by a first flank 41 and a second flank 42, which have a different angle of inclination, and by a flat groove bottom 43.
  • the second flank 42 is arranged on the outside, while the first flank 41 is arranged on the inside.
  • the first edge 41 is less inclined and extends from the groove bottom 43 obliquely upwards and at the same time inwards.
  • the second flank 42 is steeper inclined and extends from the groove bottom 43 upwards and outwards.
  • the upper free end of the associated wall portion forms the edge 8 of the storage box. 1
  • the bulges 32 are likewise V-shaped and thus adapted to the shape of the groove 40.
  • the lower end of the bulge 32 thus forms the spring 26, which engages in the groove 40 when stacking the storage boxes.
  • the bulge 32 has a bottom wall 35, the V-shaped portion of the bulge 32 having a first wall portion 39a and a second wall portion 39b having.
  • the first wall section 39a has a steeper angle than the second wall section 39b, the angles of inclination being adapted to the angles of the first and second flanks 41, 42 of the centering groove 40.
  • the first wall portion 39a merges into the outer wall 33 of the bulge, while the second wall portion 39b merges via a curved wall portion 38 in the bottom wall 2, which is retracted inwards.
  • the two pyramid surfaces 3b and 3d can be seen, which run in the middle region on the middle plateau 4.
  • the springs 26 are not opposite to the bottom wall 2 down. In the embodiment shown here, the tips of the springs 26 lie in the same plane 25 as the lowest point of the bottom wall. 2
  • FIG. 3 is the top view of the in FIG. 1 shown storage box 1 shown.
  • the pyramid surfaces 3a-d in the bottom wall 2 as well as a centrally arranged middle plateau 4 can be clearly seen.
  • the left side wall 30a has in the region of the upwardly open bulges 32 bridge elements 50, with which the bulges are closed. It is thereby in the region of the left side wall 30a a continuous centering 40 is formed.
  • the right side wall 30b is not equipped with bridge elements 50, so that the bulges 32 are open at the top. Thereby, the groove 40 is interrupted and it is possible to stack the storage boxes 1 into one another.
  • the support shoulders 36 are formed, on which the bridge elements 50 rest or can be inserted, wherein locking means are provided so that the bridge elements 50 can be captively fixed to the side wall 30 b.
  • FIG. 4 a populated side wall 30a is shown enlarged.
  • the bridge elements 50 have on their underside (see also FIG. 4a ) Locking means in the form of pins 51, each having an annular bead 52 at its free lower end. With these pins 51, the bridge elements are pressed onto the support shoulders 36 having corresponding openings 37 through which the pins 51 are inserted therethrough. Due to the annular beads 52, the bridge elements 50 are held captive on the support shoulders 36.
  • Each bridge element 50 is wedge-shaped and has an inner wall 54 facing the inner side of the storage box 1, two side walls 53a, b and an outer wall 55 which is inclined according to the first flank 41, so that after the bulges 32 have been fitted with the bridge elements 50 a closed centering 40 is formed. This means that the outer walls 55 are aligned with the first flanks 41 in the region of the side wall 30a.
